With “Förderschmiede 2026,” the Anhalt University Center for Entrepreneurship (FTGZ) is once again launching its inter-university training program for aspiring entrepreneurs. The program is aimed at anyone who wants to develop their innovative idea into a viable startup project and prepare specifically for applying for funding.
In six sequential online workshops, experienced startup consultants will provide practical knowledge on the key components of a successful business launch. The program covers topics such as analyzing market potential, developing a viable business model, project and milestone planning, team building, and financial and resource planning. The workshops are supplemented by individual feedback and personalized counseling, enabling participants to further develop their startup ideas in a targeted manner.
A particular focus of the “Förder-Schmiede” is on preparing participants for established funding programs such as EXIST Research Transfer, ego. Startup Transfer, the EXIST Startup Grant, and ego.START. The goal is to prepare participants as thoroughly as possible for a successful grant application.
The program begins on July 27, 2026, and takes place online on six consecutive Mondays from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
The Funding Workshop is aimed at students, researchers, academic staff, and graduates from all universities who wish to implement or further develop a startup project in Saxony-Anhalt.
The registration deadline is July 22, 2026. To register, please send an email to gruenderzentrum@hs-anhalt.de.
